{Day 27} journal prompt is on sleeping and dreaming. About rest and rejuvenation the week between Christmas and New Year's. Since I have two small children, who have no idea about the concept of "sleeping in" my sleep schedule hasn't changed a whole lot. They still love to get up at 5 am! However, one thing I have noticed is that I have been having very creative, vibrant dreams. This has affected my perspective while awake. I also noticed that as soon as Christmas was over my color palette changed. I have become inspired by candy-coated colors. Maybe my friend Jenny is rubbing off on me:) So immediately I thought about the phrase "visions of sugar plums danced in thier heads..." because that's what I feel like right now. Life is so full of vitality and inspiration:)
I've been having such a great time with my sister over the last week. Yesterday we celebrated her birthday. My mom and I found this fab Dept. 56 Glitterville hat. Couldn't be more perfect!! Happy Birthday, Laura!!! Hope you're enjoying this week, whatever you're up to.
Love this page! It's wonderful!
ReplyDeletePretty page! Inspiration is such a precious thing for us 'artistes', isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteI love candy colours too. They're somehow related to my childhood, which makes them so powerful to me. I sometimes also get a flash of colour in my head that came from one of the books I had when I was little. It's amazing how tiny experiences in childhood can stay with you forever :)
Love your dreamy page!!
ReplyDeleteI love the sugarplum fairies image. I can't tell what you used for the red border though, very effective.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful page, I love it!!
